maybe a 75 shot if the car is bone stock. i wouldnt try more then 100shot.

why not just get a new pump. you can get a 255lph walbro off ebay for $100 and the install is easy

only real tip...wait until she's as empty as you can get her, drop the tank and simply pay close attention to how everything comes apart. USE ONLY BRASS TOOLS FOR A STRIKER TO REMOVE THE PUMP ASSEMBLY RETAINING RING TO PREVENT SPARKS...hope that wasn't too loud

yeah sounds just like anyother intank fuel pump, i just hate them dman straps, they always like to break and strip. but my underbody is real clean so maybe i wont have anything to worry about. What should a 255 lph pump handle spray wise?

255 will handle everything YOU ever throw at it... ppl running 450+whp turbo cars, use 255 pumps too...

I know that feeling I was trying to do mine last weekend and both of the bolts holding on the straps are seized really bad...tryed sprying the down still nothing, I am just thinking of taking it to a shop for the fuel pump rather than me snapping the damn things off

I've personally seen the stock 88lph fuel pump push a fox into the 11.20s on a 175 shot. There is no way in hell I'd recommend it though.

yea i need to do mine soon on my 89.....now someone was saying 255 is too much of a pump for mostly stock car and you might be hurting yourself, like your fuel gets too heated.
